Abstract: L'invention concerne une diode de redressement comportant un socle (2), qui peut être enfoncée dans une ouverture prévue dans un système de redressement. Sur le socle, il est prévu une plate-forme (3) montée d'un seul tenant avec ledit socle, et sur laquelle est fixée une puce à semi-conducteur (4), elle-même reliée à un fil de tête (8). Selon l'invention, il est prévu une paroi (9) qui entoure la plate-forme et assure, au moment où la diode est enfoncée, une contrainte faible et homogène de flexion au niveau de la surface d'application de la puce. Comparativement à un système sans paroi, cette paroi rend par ailleurs le centrage de la puce non critique. Des puces à semi-conducteur dont le centrage n'est pas parfait n'altèrent dès lors plus la fiabilité de la diode de redressement.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the color of an article such as a paper web includes performing a comparison between target and measured reflectance values in numerous wavelength bands spanning the visible spectrum. The comparison quantifies correspondingly numerous errors that are modified by a non-linear operation, such as squaring, and then added together. The resulting sum is minimized by individually adjusting the application of a number of colorants to the article. The number of wavelength bands is greater than the number of colorants. This avoids metameric effects which are common in conventional systems that rely on three color space coordinates such as Hunter Laboratories L, a, b; C.I.E. L*, a*, b*; chromaticity x, y, z; and tristimulus X, Y, Z. Colorant response simulators enable the effects of changes in application of colorants to be tested while the actual application of colorants to the article is unchanged. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Self-supporting cables include at least one insulated conductor that includes a conductor having at least one wire and an insulation around the cable conductor. The cable further includes at least one longitudinally extending shield band and a jacket. The shield band is rigid in a radial direction and includes undulations that extend mainly in a tangential direction. The shield band includes undulations which correspond to the jacket undulations. A weak radially acting compressive force causes the jacket undulations and the shield band undulations to cam into each other, such that the force of gravity acting on the cable between the cable fixing points is transmitted into the conductors, and an axially acting force in the absence of slippage between the different cable layers. The cable becomes self-supporting by virtue of the mechanical strength of the conductors.

With at least one distance sensor which can be brought to bear against the mast above the mast anchoring a lateral deflection of the mast which occurs on account of the bending moments is measured. The readings for the force F and the deflection S produced by the force and distance sensors are processed in an evaluation unit with respect to the functions f=F(S) and f=S(F), this being separately according to the courses of the functions f1 for the compression loading case f2 for the tensile loading case. A deviation of the gradient of the course of the function f1 from the gradient of the course of the function f2 or from the respective reference values, which is determined with the elastic deformation of the mast, is evaluated as a criterion for a fracture formation in the mast.

Abstract: In the production of grain oriented electrical steel sheet, controlling the condition of thin slab continuous casting results in advantageous solidification structures and precipitates. The steel has an initial content of carbon less than 300 ppm and an initial content of acid-soluble aluminum higher than that normally used for said type of steel. During the final processing steps, the annealed sheet is nitrided through a limited amount of nitrogen. This, in turn, renders the process for controlling the grain dimensions much less critical and results in a constant quality product.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing dyes excitable by a helium-neon laser (excitable at 633 nm) from hololepidines, e.g., 7-halolepidine, which dyes are suitable for detection and enumeration of reticulocytes in human blood samples. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for immunotyping phenocytes. The method is based on the phenomenon that when dyes of certain structure intercalate into DNA or RNA, the intensity of the dye increases. Dyes suitable for this invention can be described as having (a) a first heterocyclic moiety, (b) a second heterocyclic moiety, and (c) a linking group that connects the first and second heterocyclic moieties. Both the first and second heterocyclic moieties must contain at least two rings, preferably fused together. The dye is characterized by conjugation, whereby the first moiety is ethylenically conjugated to the second moiety.
